GBP/USD breaking higher as anticipated...

Long
FX:GBPUSD   British Pound / U.S. Dollar
The Dollar remains depressed following another dead cat bounce and failure to reach 94.000 in index terms with the aid of firm US inflation data, and a retreat in Treasury yields amidst re-flattening across the curve is not helping the Greenback sustain gains as the DXY slips closer to the round number below. Meanwhile, bouts of risk-off trade due to the lack of progress on fiscal stimulus to replace maturing COVID-19 relief are fleeting and not providing the Buck any safe-haven sustenance, as 2nd wave concerns linger alongside global trade, diplomatic and geopolitical threats to the economic recovery. Ahead, initial claims will be monitored in context of the latter and recent signs that the re-opening return to employment is waning. Here on GBP/USD, 1.3100 has now been broken and we should see some momentum come into play to help drive this instrument higher. Buys into 1.3250 are anticipated along with further USD weakness.
